My dishes are not getting clean.

The water is not getting hot.

I opened the dishwasher during operation and found that the heating
element was not hot and was not submerged.

Shouldn't the heating element be under water during operation?

Run the hot water in the sink first.

And wash your dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. A
dishwasher is more like a dish sanitizer...

*** I don't have a dog in this fight, since we haven't used a
dishwasher for several years.
Just want to point out that newer dishwashers make a point of advising
users
NOT to rinse foot particles off dishes before stacking in
dishwasher.
I always thought that was strange.
